As businesses plunge into the digital future, no asset will have a greater impact on success than data. The ability to collect, harness, analyze, protect, and manage data will determine which businesses disrupt their industries, and which are disrupted; which businesses thrive, and which disappear. But traditional storage solutions are not designed to optimally handle such a critical business asset. Instead, businesses need to adopt an all-flash data center. In their new role as strategic business enablers, IT leaders have the responsibility to ensure that their businesses are protected, by investing in flexible, future-proof flash storage solutions. The right flash solution can deliver on critical business needs for agility, rapid growth, speed-to-market, data protection, application performance, and cost-effectiveness—while minimizing the maintenance and administration burden.

Prevent unexpected downtime with reliable failover protection. We interrupted access both local storage arrays - the Dell EMC database host seamlessly redirected all I/O to remote VMAX 250F with Intel® Xeon® Processor via SRDF/Metro with no interruption of service or downtime. The 3PAR solution crashed until the standby paths became active and we restarted the VM.

Traditional backup systems fail to meet the database protection and recovery requirements of modern organizations. These systems require ever-growing backup windows, negatively impact performance in mission-critical production databases, and deliver recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) measured in hours or even days, failing to meet the requirements of high-volume, high transactional databases -- potentially costing millions in lost productivity and revenue, regulatory penalties, and reputation damage due to an outage or data loss.

Malware that encrypts a victim’s data until the extortionist’s demands are met is one of the most common forms of cybercrime. And the prevalence of ransomware attacks continues to increase. Cybercriminals are now using more than 50 different forms of ransomware to target and extort money from unsuspecting individuals and businesses. Ransomware attacks are pervasive. More than 4,000 ransomware attacks happen every day, and the volume of attacks is increasing at a rate of 300 percent annually. According to an IDT911 study, 84 percent of small and midsize businesses will not meet or report ransomware demands. No one is safe from ransomware, as it attacks enterprises and SMBs, government agencies, and individuals indiscriminately. While ransomware demands more than doubled in 2016 to $679 from $294 in 2015, the cost of remediating the damage and lost productivity is many multiples higher.

Backup and recovery have been a constant for organisations over the years, often not seen as glamorous aspects of an IT environment but as solutions that are necessary all the same. Environments have changed over the years and the focal use for backups have changed with them, although your solutions may not have. Taking a simple off-site backup, whether this be to disk, tape or other removable media, would once have been the last line of defence for data protection. Solutions were reliable and ensured data could be recovered in a timely manner.

Until recently, security teams for organizations in many industries believed they didn’t need to worry about DDoS attacks, but the latest data from the Verizon 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that businesses of all sizes in nearly every industry run the risk of being attacked.¹ IoT devices are increasingly compromised, recruited into botnets, and offered up by their creators as for-hire DDoS services. Additionally, there are numerous DDoS tools and services that are easily accessible and easy to use, even for the untechnical novice.

Over the last few years government agencies have been concerned with protection of personal data and consequences of data breaches on business and citizens. That’s driven businesses to look how rules and regulations can help guide organizations to build systems and processes that protect peoples data. Watch now to learn more.

One of the largest retail banks in the U.S. sought to improve customer satisfaction in the call center by eliminating time-consuming processes. Limited by a nonspeech- enabled IVR, the bank was constrained to outdated authentication options, such as PIN numbers and knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questions. Long enrollment processes and authentication challenges were driving call handle times up, causing significant customer frustration. The bank turned to Pindrop for help. Using Pindrop’s multi-factor authentication solutions, the bank confidently moved authentication away from costly agent-based KBA questions to passively authenticating callers within the IVR. This not only reduced call handle times but also improved customer account protection, by assessing every caller for risk before enrollment and authentication.

IBM’s Spectrum Protect offering boasts more than 20 years of achievement in the protection and recovery of key IT systems. So, it would be easy to suppose that IBM’s new Spectrum Protect Plus and Spectrum Copy Data Management software offerings simply represent “Spectrum Protect with extra features.” That assumption would be incorrect. They are standalone, reimagined approaches aiming to solve a daunting IT challenge—virtualization protection/recovery—and aspiring to attain a coveted IT outcome—effective data management and enablement (DM&E), referred to by many as “copy data management” (CDM).

La sécurité démarre sur de bonnes bases. Résoudre le problème du décalage entre le service informatique et les employés exige une solution adaptée. Menaces externes, informatique parallèle : la protection de votre entreprise, de vos employés et de vos clients est une tâche complexe. Rester au fait de toutes les menaces possibles peut sembler insurmontable. Il vous faut donc une solution qui vous confère la sécurité adaptée, d'une façon indolore pour les employés.

The General Data Protection Regulation – or GDPR – is a European Union (EU) law that protects the rights of individuals with respect to their data. Adopted as an EU law in April 2016, organizations that hold data about any resident of the EU must be compliant by May 2018. With attention-grabbing fines of €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, GDPR commands attention at the highest levels. And despite the “legalese” that compliance suggests brands utilize, the brands that balance legal compliance with a human approach will turn GDPR to their advantage. This white paper provides a series of actions you can take to make the most of GDPR to both enhance your customer relationships and mitigate risk.

Un nouveau modèle de sécurité qui mérite d’être étudié... et reproduit. Traditionnellement, la sécurité des entreprises a toujours été fondée sur une stratégie de « forteresse », chargée de sécuriser les terminaux utilisateur et de former une barrière de protection autour du réseau. Aujourd’hui, cette stratégie n’est pas en mesure de supporter ou de sécuriser l’utilisation des périphériques mobiles et des fonctionnalités SaaS, qui existent en-dehors de la forteresse. Les responsables de la sécurité des informations (CISO, Chief Information Security Officer) sont donc tenus de trouver de nouvelles solutions à même de sécuriser ces technologies actuelles, et de s’adapter aux menaces et aux besoins métier en évolution.
